Best campers for seniors?
We're in our 60's and starting to feel some aches and pains. My wife is tired of climbing up into the bed of our old Lance camper. Not to mention getting down. We've got the dually now so we can start...

For decades I've noticed when your time is up with a TC, many have gone to something like this;

The reason is low entry height and no stairs or steps to get into bed. I think the overhead is a 2nd sleeping area.
I googled class C Motorhome and had a good look at the plethora of new (and expensive) models, many now with 4WD. Then I googled Lazy Daze. The few owners I have known are wild about them and were drawn to them because of their personal inability to navigate the stairs and high steps common in a truck camper. Does the blue placard in the glove box mean anything?
I'm facing the same, I guess I could call it 'aging' situation with our rig. I'm fine using our 6 speed manual, but Jeanie is willing for me to buy an new truck with an automatic transmission so she could feel more comfortable driving on long trips. Is this the same girl that was a whiz at driving her stick shift, 4 speed, 1961 VW convertible around like a race car?
As an aid for getting into the truck which has a 3" lift and taller tires, I installed a stirrup on the pass side as an aid to getting up in the cab. So far we're both fine on getting up the stairs and up the big steps to the bed. So far.
